Needless

[Homura7]

Yep, it's 24 episodes.

About the stone, I don't think there's need for the Son(Cruz) to have that thing.

Afterall, isn't the byakugou just a device that allows the user to transfer the data directly? I don't know, so please, if someone can solve me the doubt...

From what I heard there are 12 volumes of Blu-ray & DVD.

And this is Ep name for 20-22
20　「Ａ－Ｂ」
21 「Ａ－Ａ」
22 「６６６人委員会」(666 Committee)

It's seem the flash back Ep will continuous to Ep21 and after that there will be 3-3.5(If the flashback end at first half of Ep21) episode left.

It looks like we'll get an anime original Ending, , judging from too much Ep left and the fact that they give more screen time for the 666 Committee in Ep 19(who didn't appear much in Manga and they even become Ep22 name)

[Ca12nag3]

Im asuming there will be a season 2? Since the story goes on beyond the Simeon tower ofc... or is that to big an asumption?

They sticked to the manga so far with the story why end it here and now? Also what would such an end be then a total anti-climax... Many characters have had a introduction and are kinda still not in action. The upcomming Dvds ofc will be this season (if its a season and not the whole anime lol)
And a new season would not be for a while, they could make an open ending of some sort and sorta show Cruz as hes still ok and thats the end of it. That would have to have a new season then.

Just to clarify, the second opening ends with Cruz during the PF explosion, so...

[Ca12nag3]

Eh it ends with a blast and white light and you see Cruz running. Can be interpert differently. Im not saying you aint right but you asume to much. That blast could just be the 1st blast of the blackspot and the white light just an effect, like an effect where all the characters stand on a cliff and jump up 100 feet lol.
It doesnt say that much. Tho the endings would sugest there is more to come with teh school arcs etc. Those would be the funniest arcs tbh.

[shadowii]

If it does end with the end of chapter 50 i would be just fine with that. I just dont understand why they feel the need to add this 666 committee crap since they have stayed true to the manga thus far. I do wonder if this is going to become a spoiler for the manga about Saten true motivations.

[Ca12nag3]

Hmm the next epp seems to cover some stuff from vol7 about Gidon. So it follows the manga story mostly to the letter. Cant see it to change the ending of it all drasticaly or it has to be done in epp 20 since that covers how Blade and Arclight came to be and how its *destined* to go from then on.
Storywise ofc.

Does anyone know where I can find volume 8 for download?

you can read all the chapters for it on mangahelpers but i dont know about downloading the volume

[Magin]

Something I realized, even though its' been partially pointed out elsewhere...

according to what's in the RAWs, Cruz is killed and brought back to life, and what with all the Christ connections, that's fairly obvious what it's pointing to... but here's another connection: The Second was killed, and since we have too much of Biblical stuff going on in here to be able to ignore it... Christ in the original was resurrected, and of course Cruz was resurrected. But, I suspect that Cruz himself is playing the part of the resurrection of the Second

Just something I thought I'd toss out to add to the many connections

That would have been a very idiotic move on Arclight's part - Eve is much more useful than any of the Four Strongest, her power easily rivals ordinary Zero fragment and is close to the power of the Positive Feedback one:

She can completely heal the most grievous wounds not only on herself, but on others as well.
She can turn virtually invisible by pretending to be a part of the landscape. (that's Uten's ability!)
She can transform into numerous battle forms (and some of those give her enchanced mobility - i.e. flight). Who needs Telekinesis to lift a skyscraper if you can just grow a hand big enough to do that?
She can completely disguise herself as anyone(and if you have her as a lover, you won't need any other woman).

Furthermore, Arclight has already memorized all the abilities the Four have, so he can easily get rid of them all - but he cannot copy Eve's ability.

[kenjiharima]

666 Committee is interesting in the anime part time to look deeper on the Adam project and how the Second really died.

She can completely disguise herself as anyone(and if you have her as a lover, you won't need any other woman).

I loled.

Since when cant he copy doppelganger? at the Simeon tower he used tentacles of the same structure as Eves to stab those rebbels and draw them into himself... so theres doppelganger.

[SinsI]

That's not doppelganger, that's his genes gone cancer - he had that trait from the start, and that's the reason he wants Blade's body.

[Dragonkid11]

If Archlight really got the doppelganger fragment...he don't even NEED Adam anymore...

Because he can just eat more and heal.........

Anyway
He got the tentacles (raping) ablity even since he is created...but how the heck he get that (raping) power is unknown...sort of...

[Homura7]

Arclight has no Doppelganger. Like many said, he had his healing properties and those tentacles and deformations of his body from the very beggining.

So are you suggesting Cruz not only is Christ in the bible but the reincarnation of The Second? Is that?

[shadowii]

^
about the christ thing, do you mean like cruz is the seconds son? Cause if im reading the timetable right then the second died years before Cruz would have been born. The flashback started in 2114, sixteen years before the main story. and Cruz is only fourteen.
I do understand the death and resurrection bit though.

[Magin]

No, I'm just drawing the connections between the Bible stuff and Needless... basically, Christ in the Bible went through death and resurrection, and the Second went through death... and Cruz is his resurrection, if you ask me

[Dragonkid11]

But his (Christ) resurrection is like...3 days after he dead?and then he fly like a helicopter,fly straight to the sky!!!......

Cruz went through death and resurrection too, so yeah, it makes sense. Guess I'm not the only one that thought something changed inside Cruz after being brought back to life. You can say he went throught that process in order to awaken his dormant power. Afterall, every development in Needless is made with a purpose.
